Prank Wars Chapter 6

Artemis was annoyed at Wally for orchestrating seaweed to fall on top of her head and to top it off, he had the audacity to wake her up in the middle of the night with obnoxiously loud music. Her sleep was precious to her, even more so when her day was disturbed by his annoying pranks. So for retribution she was going to do the same thing to him. It was a natural instinct, practically a reflex. This was a prank war, and she wasn't going to stop until he is begging for mercy.

She was taking that just as serious as he was.

Her revenge was anything but simple. First she was going to replace his stick of deodorant with cream cheese, then stick mayonnaise in donuts and get him to eat one, and finally, replacing an air freshener with silly string and finding some way for him to use it. All she had to do was was put a disgusting smell in his room.

She came up with the plan easily, it just sort of popped into her head one day. Wally kept poking her as she was trying to watch TV, and her mind wandered to all the things she could do to get back at him. At first she was annoyed that he chose to sit next to her when there were so many empty spots, then she realized how she can turn the situation into her favor and suddenly a lightbulb went off in her head.

It was hard for her to understand why he had to sit next to her so they were side by side, shoulders almost touching. Artemis, of course attempted to push him off the couch or at least move him away from her. When that didn't work she sighed and got up herself, and Wally just followed with an annoying smirk on his face that she wanted to smack off.

All in good time, she told herself, all in good time.

And so Artemis set off to gather her supplies, and try to remain inconspicuous for the next couple of days. She bought everything all together, and snuck them into the cave one by one. It was a slow process, but definitely worth it in her opinion.

She worked on putting the silly string into the air freshener, and when that proved to be messy and essentially futile, she set on disguising the silly string can. She essentially switched the labels and added a couple of touch ups, overall it was almost the same.

As for the disgusting smell, she was thinking about hiding expired food around his room, and conveniently placing the faux-febreeze on his desk. If that wasn't pungent enough, she was going to scatter his own dirty clothes across it, not like he would notice anyway, his room was a mess.

For Artemis, the hardest part would have to be getting him to eat the donuts. She's already done pranks involving food that he would be an idiot for not getting suspicious. She needed a good alibi, and she doubted any of her teammates would vouch for her again. Depending on the alibi she came up with, she might have to scrap that prank at the last minute.

It was all a work in progress at the moment. She had confidence that it would all come together in the end.

And so she began her prank by placing the silly string disguised as an air freshener, on his desk and covered it with a couple of papers and shirts so it would look like it was already there casually. She was relying on it being inconspicuous. Then she worked on planting the smelly object, a couple of rotten eggs tossed in with a bag of garbage, tucked under his bed.

The last thing she did was switch his deodorant with cream cheese and put it where she found it in his room. They all took showers after training, and they were due for another session later that day. Everything was working out in her favor.

She left the mayo-filled donuts in a box in his room, in a random corner, he'll stumble on them eventually, hopefully when he least expects it.

Artemis went about her day normally, coming into the cave, doing her homework, raiding the fridge for snacks. All she needed was time for her plan to fall into place, and she had plenty to distract her in the meantime.

She was in the middle of doing her physics homework when Wally came into the cave, using his super speed to plop himself next to Artemis.

"Do you mind?" She asked.

"Not at all." He replied, stretching his legs onto the coffee table and making himself comfortable.

"Haven't you ever heard of personal space?" Wally was testing her patience. She could barely focus with him hovering over her shoulder, especially when it was a subject that she already had difficulty with.

"No, what's that?" He asked cheekily. Artemis shoved him over, trying to create some distance between them.

"Move your big butt away from me."

"I'm not fat!" He interjected, offended.

"I didn't say it, you did." Wally cured underneath his breath. "Now can you move so I can finish my work before training?" She asked him condescending. He rolled his eyes at her and walked away huffling the entire time.

He surprisingly left her alone and went to flirt with Megan. Artemis scoffed at the thought of the two of the them actually getting together, it would never happen.

"Time for training!" Canary called out, her voice a beacon for the teenagers to follow. The team gathered in the training area, ready to receive instruction and kick ass.

"Today we are going to practice on getting out of common holds, so grab a partner and you can both practice demonstrating the hold, and the other will try to get out of it in under 30 seconds." Dinah showed them what to do and let them practice on their own, walking around to supervise and give assistance when needed.

Again, Wally and Artemis paired up. They weren't afraid to test these moves on each other, and since they were both competitive spirits, they did their best to outdo each other.

"Scared Artemis?" Wally taunted.

"You wish." She replied, her confidence never wavering.

After a long and intensive training session, the team was sore all over and headed to the showers. Artems made sure hers was quick so she wouldn't miss Wally's reaction. And boy did it pay off, she was sitting in the living room flipping through channels when she heard him yell her name.

"Is this cream cheese?" He asked running into the living room, with just a towel around his waist. He shoved the "deodorant" in her face demanding answers.

"I don't know Wally, you're the food expert, why don't you tell me?" She replied condescendingly, not shifting her gaze from the TV.

He just pointed his finger at her, silently fuming, with no words coming out. Wally eventually let out a mix between a groan and a silent scream before stomping away. If he thought that was bad, he was going to love the next part.

Artemis even walked to his room at the cave, and leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed. Wally was going crazy searching in his room for the source of the smell. He kept flipping things over on his desk, stumbling onto the air freshener. Tired, annoyed and frazzled, Wally used it as a quick solution, only to be covered in silly string.

Artemis had her phone out and recording the entire time, laughing along the way. Wally, covered in neon silly string glaring at her intensely.

"Your move." Artemis challenged. Then taking pity upon him for some unknown reason, she said, "The smell is coming from under the bed."


A/N: Can you believe it's been like 3 months since I last posted on this story? In case you didn't know I completed my Spitfire story How Can We. I still have a few bonus chapters to do, and in the meantime I'm going to be posting more chapters here.
